A Useful Post

So many blogs are full of useful information. Today, I'll be one of them. But only if you are a new mommy who is about as clueless as I was those first 6 months.

Diaper Bags for Dummies

Dedicated to Baby Bird and the way she forced me to borrow diapers, wipes and rush home for a bottle last Saturday.

• Two diapers-- one for a #2 accident and the other just in case your first falls inside-out on the really gross bathroom floor.
• A travel pack of wipes.
• An opaque plastic baggy because sometimes there is no sanitary disposal can in the really gross bathroom (I mean, seriously?) and you have to carry your diaper outside the stall during a particularly vibrant moment.
• Sample-size diaper cream packets (ask your doctor, they carry freebies).
• 6 ounces of water in a bottle or 6 ounces of mommy-milk (never leave the house without liquid; babies prefer public forums when time to start a growth spurt).
• A small tupperware containing enough formula for 6-ounces of water if your body has called it quits on the mommy-milk.
• An extra onesie and an extra pair of baby pants (accidents rarely happen when they are planned for).
• A clean shirt for you (one day that baby will puke on you. I promise).
• At 9 months, add a rice cracker.
